One Big Bang, an ex-Irish maiden hurdler, has shown remarkable improvement since joining his current yard, winning impressively at both Haydock and Uttoxeter in the spring. With the stable in excellent form, he is a significant contender on his return. His previous performances on soft ground suggest that the heavy going might suit him today.

Magistrato
J:Chris Ward(3)
T:Deborah Cole

Magistrato has been performing well post-wind surgery, claiming victory over the course and distance in July and securing a second place last month. He has demonstrated good form on similar ground, and the heavy conditions today should not be an issue, making him a strong contender to be involved in the finish.

Pirates' Tale
J:Harry Cobden
T:Jimmy Frost
7.8

Pirates' Tale has shown consistent form, winning a soft-ground maiden at Exeter and placing in subsequent races on heavy and good ground. His ability to perform well in these conditions positions him as a strong candidate for success today.

Catch Him Derry
J:Harry Skelton
T:Dan Skelton
1.1

Catch Him Derry has triumphed in two out of three handicaps, with his only defeat coming against a well-treated stablemate. Despite a 10lb rise since his latest win at Ayr, his form on soft ground is encouraging for today's heavy conditions. His ongoing improvement warrants respect.

Doyouknowwhatimean
J:Harry Skelton
T:Dan Skelton
4.0

Doyouknowwhatimean has turned a corner in his recent performances, winning his last two races on heavy ground at Lingfield and Stratford. Although he faces a 19lb rise, his affinity for heavy ground and his current trajectory suggest he could continue his progress over this extended distance.

Jockey silk
Gentleman Toboot
J:Jack Tudor
T:David Pipe
48.08

Gentleman Toboot, an easy winner of his Irish point-to-point on soft ground in March, was subsequently sold for 46,000 euros, indicating his potential. His success on similar ground suggests he may handle today's heavy going well, hinting at a promising future.

Best of luck and remember to gamble responsibly.
